with that, i don't have any other questions. >> thank you supervisor tang. supervisor mar. >> thank you for the report mr. see you the. i just ask the 58 percent over the projected 2005 budget, how does that cheng? it seems like a significant increase over what we projected 10 years ago. it seems like it to me. >> yes. it was. it seems like the project was greatly underestimated. roughly s-projects like this cost a quarter billion dollars just in construction cost alone. and you have to add saw cost, engineering cost, project admission cost. administratoration cost. >> so do we have a better analyst under what you think is the amount? do we have an analyst questioning that now 10 years later? >> we have the design process and checked the estimates and the latest estimate was done just prior to bid and they were very consistent with the bid, the contractor bids that were turned in. >> and just continuing from supervisor tang's questions, i see that half of that, up to $1 million is for disputes reviews, claims, ordinance and services, are we getting a lot of d

tang. >> okay. i know we're going to get to the budget analyst report after this but i do have a couple of questions on this. this project is now 58 percent more than the original approved budget. is that this kind of liner failure that we are addressing today? >> no. . >> what are the issues? >> no. it includes over 10 years of project history. it includes multiple redesigns to get the tunnel right for the contract. and also more recently due to grounds what we anticipated. >> the second question has to do with the contractor, the issue with the tunnel liner failure which is why we have this item up for us in the firt place. so from my understanding, the contractor is supposed to be incurring the cost of the redo, is that correct? >> that is our current position. we believe that the line of failure was due to not inspect grout that was too soft and was contaminated by ground water draining which should been been taken care of as part of the contract. >> so 250,000 is going towards engineering support

i hope that you would support her. thank you very much. >> next speaker. >> good morning, avalos, vice chair tang, supervisor cohen, i stand before you in strong support as debbie mesloh on the commission of the status of women, she brings a deep knowledge about the city having served in the district attorney's office but also at the state level, having worked for the attorney general and then also having worked at the federal level. that's the kind of experience that we could benefit from on the commission and oftentimes, we work in silos, the private sector here and the public sector over here and i think debbie has a lot to contribute in terms of increasing our reach into the private sector. we realized several years ago that three out of four women work in the private sector, not the public sector and that we needed to do some work helping our sisters in the private sector, so i'm looking for strong leadership from debbie mesloh on our commission. thank you very much. >> thank you. if there are no other members of the public to comment, we'll close public comment on this item. and supervisor tang? >> thank you, i could

i hope that you would support her. thank you very much. >> next speaker. >> good morning, avalos, vice chair tang, supervisor cohen, i stand before you in strong support as debbie mesloh on the commission of the status of women,

i appreciate those comments. >>supervisor katy tang: i know that a lot of this capital project has been focused on the jail and swapping out with other priorities. i would just say that from my understanding from past approvals of our capital plan, there have been actually changes. i don't know if this provides any reassurance for any committee members but there have been changes that were made even after a capital plan was adopted. when we were talking about 2014, i was supportive of animal control as part of that bond, however it was not part of that, it was pushed off until later. secondly i know that the crime lab was going to be part of easter one but was part of our second easter bond and now the public health bond and that will include animal control and station 49 and in terms of the transportation bond that we all unanimously worked on, that was also mained as part of our efforts that we could have a geo bond last year in 2014. i think the capital plan really lays out a framework for us in identifying needs that we have in the

i want to thank you for your leadership on this legislation and supervisor tang and i have partnered on various pieces of animal welfare legislation and budget support for animal care and control and it's a real pleasure to be able to work with you supervisor tang. and this is a long over due legislation and this is actually one of those areas where sometimes you propose something like this and people immediately say it's some sort of san francisco thing. well, we're not pioneers on this. we are doing the right thing, but other cities have already been doing this because this is really common sense, and here in san francisco we are a city that -- the city of st. francis and we deeply believe in the humane treatment of animals, and we have time and time again adopted innovative policies around animals to make sure we're not killing animals in our shelters, to make sure we're doing everything we can to ensure that animals of all variety, every variety of animals treated humanely in this city, and the is that animals -- exotic animals used for performance whether in the circus or otherwi

you would want to hookup with one of them. >> i want to say for the record that the wu tang are nothing but gentlemen. when i went back stage with them as i do with artists we got into philosophical debate. we did. we talked about all of the things i can't talk about with my family, religion politics my insecurities and i felt a little more confident when i left. >> that's what they do, right? pick out the prettiest girl in the audience and bring her back stage to talk politics. i don't know why i did the voice. >> that was andrew dice clay. >> you know the wu tang people don't realize they talk like that. when she said they were complete gentlemen she meant it in the black way. a minute is a longtime like the opposite. >> this story i was happy we chose. you seem like you are a big wu tang fan. >> that's my alarm clock in the morning and when i go to sleep. i want to know what kind of clock -- what kind of clock is on her wrist? >> i love that it is in the morning and at night. >> and i don't listen to christmas music i listen to wu tang. >> they complete you. you love it.

mar,i. tang, aye. wiener,i. yee, aye. there are 11 eye's. >> thiz regz lose is adopted unanimously. madam clerk can you calliteal 31 >> resolution to declare april 14 equal pay in the american sogez of women for leadership in advances awareness orphequal fay and encourage interaction to close the gender pay gap. >> president breed. >> earlier today supervisors cohen christensen tang campus and kim held a press conference in city hall to recognize equal pay. i want to thank emily [inaudible] on the kats of wem squn ruburta guise who is with the american association of university women for all their help today and their help to achieve equal pay here in san francisco. today april 14 represents how far into 2015 women must work in order to earn what men did in 2014. equal pay day is a symbol of ha far we need to go for equal pay. full time employed women on average earn 78 cents for every dollar men ern. that figure is slightly better in san francisco. i have seen it where it was 81 or 87 cents, but it is till not 100. for women of color the gap is bigger. whether folks have a college

i like to see thorough engagement from both sides. supervisor tang, amazing outreach and the massage community. you are out here and i really appreciate it. i as a small business owner think also criminal will be criminals. that's their business and more regulations is not going to stop them. that's what they do as a profession. i'm saddened to see that the massage industry has to go through burdensome bureaucracy that is not going to have an impact on the illegal businesses. no one wants them trafficking in the city. where is the police involvement. i know they do a background check, but why have on the enforcement side as an on going part of this? >> we do not address the police department on this legislation. as you know back in 2000 the jurisdiction of enforcement was transferred from sf p.d. to dph. that was a decision made by the supervisor on the board at that time. the police involvement now has to do with the task force inspections. they are sometimes consisting of dph inspector, police, sometimes city attorney, sometimes planning. so that i

tang? >> thank you, mr. chiu, i know that this definitely comes up before us, and i am glad to hear that it is now in a three year funding cycle verses thal location and so i am just wondering i have taken a look at the allocations and the different service and property fits that are funded and i am just curious if based on this new start with the three year cycle if there are any sort of changes or improvements that have been made because of that you can highlight for us? >> i think there is a few changes, and not surprisingly we were limited in terms of some of our changes because with the decrease in funding, we are not able to expand so much unless we have some shifts and i think that the primary shift that we were able to make was we increased our investments in our access to housing programs, we found that more and more people who are seeking affordable housing needed personal assistance in navigating our systems. and so we did increase our investments in supporting those organizations that had the cultural co

the fire department and hr that can really help to embed this work in the city and so i want to thank supervisor tangd supervisor breed and cohen for their work and i want to thank you in advance for passing this resolution. >> thank you very much, if there are no other members of the public, who want to comment, we will close public comment, and we have this item live before us. >> supervisor taning? >> thank you, i want to thank all of the different people who came out today, and whether it was a department representative or the people who do incredible work in the community and thank you for being part of this wonderful forward thinking klabive and i think that you do amazing work and inspirational and i hope that my colleagues will be able to support me in adding these critical departments to the new membership. >> thank you, i also want to take a moment to acknowledge the hard working men and women, mostly women, that are on the front lines that are just really helping to make our city better. >> and so, to the department heads and to the non-profits and i know that it is a thankless job and we

i had to. you are going to have people with that problem. under what supervisor tang is saying to us today is great she's going to have a grandfather but it doesn't apply to anyone like myself because we didn't sent in that paperwork. it was voluntary. i say conditional use permit is really awesome if someone is already busted for something. it would be great for an environment for the public to say yes, we would like these bad actors out of our neighborhood. forcing people through them is making them hide and second, people are not going to get through it. my building won't. not just me, but i have three other small businesses that don't go through conditional use but will be hit by department of building inspectors because we are all under one roof with the same landlord. if you are a business, how many businesses would you like to get hit with fines and/or who else has to send in more architectural maps. this is not going to affect one small business under one roof. my landlord doesn't want to renew my lease now. i have been in business for 10 years. i have contrac
